Overview
What you will study
- The Creativity in business course offered by University of Cambridge explains the difficulty and importance of fostering creativity in the modern workplace. Starting with why creativity and other 21st century soft skills are so in demand; we will consider the psychological and pedagogical influence of technological changes. We will also explore the origins of our current thinking around creativity with a view to understanding why creativity is so hard to define. The Tutor’s own tentative definition of ‘creativity’, as “Serious Play”, will be introduced before being examined critically.
- Moving on from considerations of what creativity is, we will begin to consider the practical benefits of creativity; both in encouraging personal growth and in delivering innovation. In particular, we will consider the role of psychological safety in driving ideation and providing employees with the chance to self-actualise. However, we must also consider the risks associated with psychologising the workplace, for example, blaming individuals for any insecurities they might feel, and look instead to institutional changes where applicable.
- In closing, we will put these insights into creativity to the test by engaging in creative practice of our own. In so doing, we will ask, “Is it really creativity we are trying to develop, or something else?”
